• Fungi are very active in decomposing the complex organic
constituents of plant tissues such as cellulose, lighting and pectin.
• Yeasts are most likely to occur in the soils of vineyard, orchard, and

Wastewater
Wastewater, or sewage, is defined as the used water
supply of a community and consists of :
1. Domestic water borne waste, including human
excrement and wash waters (every thing that goes down
the drains of a home and city and into its sewage system).
2. Industrial water borne wastes such as acids, oils,

Characteristics of Wastewater
• Wastewaters exhibit a great diversity in physical, chemical and
microbiological characteristic.
- Physical and chemical characteristic of wastewater
- Microbiological characteristics: Fungi, protozoa, algae, bacteria
and virus are present in wastewater.
- Biochemical oxygen Demand.
The biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) is the amount of dissolved
oxygen required by microorganisms for the aerobic degradation of
organic matter present in wastewater.
The BOD is an indication of the amount of the amount of organic \
material in the sewage, the more oxidizable organic material present,
the higher the BOD.

crabmeat, each of which requires consider
able handling by individuals.
